Just found this video after doing a search for 'sailing fair isle', which was after watching Sailing Florence's recent video of their trip to Fair Isle just a month or so ago. Congratulations on your very calm and pleasant style of presenting your video, very informative but with just the right balance of music and commentary. I will be watching more of your travels, so here's wishing you fair winds and all the best.

Hi, just catching up on your videos. They are great, keep em coming 😊 So I noticed that you visited a distillery somewhere in Europe. Just for your knowledge there are a couple of whiskey distilleries north of the arctic circle. KZfaqrs Sailing Uma visited one of the 3 years ago. I hope you’ll have a great time, fair winds and nice weather! www.mykendestilleri.no/

Especially Dunbar with Winterfield Golf club which serves up terrific meal's with view's to match. And of course onwards towards Edinburgh. I shall try and find your other vids soon as poss .

May I suggest a marvelous book new edition called EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND SAILING DIRECTIONS by Andy Carnduff n Forth yacht clubs. Its fully detailed with all the nooks n crannies from Berwick upon Tweed up to Duncansby head it was specifically made for yachties pilot Martin Lawrence. Via Imray. There's always next year perhaps Glasgow or Northumberland and return up north home again. It must be absolutely marvelous sailing all these places and crossing the north sea to Norway, Grateful thanks for education whilst on your travels.

Great Video! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Since I like to use your method for my passage planning I am just curious about two things. How do you respect the tidal stream in your passage plan and secondly where do you write the course to steer. Since this seems to be missing especially when you have turning points like in your case. Please keep your great work up and it was so lovely to hear swyzerduetsch in the background.
@sailingpolaris 26 күн бұрын
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! Tidal stream: I incorporate this in my boat speed, I always plot 2-3 speed lines, giving me a best - realistic - worst scenario. Where important I also draw the favourable and unfavourable times/ areas on the plan. I don‘t write down the CTS, as I always have a route in my plotter, but you could add this information at every waypoint on the plan. Happy sailing and best wishes from arctic Norway where it is sunny and hot at the moment…

@michaeldob2153 26 күн бұрын
@@sailingpolaris First at all I apologize for asking so much but I will start soon sailing in tidal waters and I try tp gather as many information as I can. I get your point reducing the speed by drooping the sails but how do you drop your boat speed with you engine!? reverse? At home I copied your concept of passage planning and the more I worked with it the more I came to the conclusion that this method is great for Non-Tidal areas. Than a straight line with a constant speed make sense. Since the influence of drift is 0. In tidal waters your boat is influenced not only by wind but also by the tidal stream which can come from any direction. But once again all my thought are just theoretical since I don't have any practical tidal water experience.
@sailingpolaris 26 күн бұрын
@michaeldob2153 I know the average speed of my boat and then I try to guess what tide does to speed. That‘s why I work with multiple speed lines, that give me an idea. This method, as I say in the video, apparently is or has been taught in the Royal Navy and they have engines, which makes their passages very predictable. You‘ll find in practice that sailing and tides, course to steer etc. are never an exact science. Only in some very particular places will it depend on a quarter of an hour and and then I would reduce the sails to reduce the speed or use the engine to increase. The beauty of the method, I think, is also that it shows you how you run vis-a-vis your plan. Regular marks of time and distance to go will show you whether you are too slow, too fast or just right.

Hi, very nice video! enjoyed it a lot thank you. I have one question: which month did you do this trip? Would you say mid-late August is late to cross cape Orkeney - Cape Wrath?
@sailingpolaris 29 күн бұрын
We did this trim on 31/7 and 1/8 and that was absolutely fine. Mid-late August is certainly possible although the weather becomes more unstable then and gales become more frequent towards September (which does not mean there aren’t any during the summer…). With a well found boat and time to wait for your slot it shouldn‘t be an issue. Stromness - Stornoway or Stromness - Kinlochbervie (a very sheltered place btw) can be made in 24h and forecasts are pretty reliable on this time horizon.
